All,
Thanks for the feedback. Having built the sofa at Gene Landon's class, I have an understanding of the "extra's" required for upholstry. I'll be taking the chair to York, PA for upholsrty, and have discussed the chair with the upholsterer. One comment he made is it is critical that all outside surfaces are smooth - something near impossible to convey in a drawing.
I decided to make these chairs for the "18th century wing" of our house (the living room with new "wood" laminate flooring, and MDF molding - don't tell Gene! I bought the wood the last week of June and started on June 30. My goal is to get them done in July. These are really the first pieces I've made from a plan - mostly just templates. The next drawing I'm doing for Olde Mill is of the sofa, and after using the easy chair drawings, I think I'll be able to make the sofa drawing more "stand-alone". I've spent many hours thinking things through. For someone with no upholstered furniture experience (e.g a class from Gene Landon) to make one of these chairs from a photo would seem almost impossible.
And to answer Pam's question, yes, those are pieces specific for upholstry. When taking the sofa class, Gene made it sound like the upholsterer would add some of these pieces as required.
I'll post some pictures after I start glue-up (hopefully this weekend)
